1.Scaffold materials in tissue engineering of tendon and ligament
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(11):760-763
Terapeutic options used to repair tendon and ligament injury consist of autografis,allografts and synthetic prostheses.Tendon and ligament of tissue engineering have their unique advantages as alternative therapy.Choosing the proper scaffold materials is important for successfully constructing tissue engineering tendon and ligament,so in this review we focus on natural and artificial scaffold materials used in tissue engineering of tendon and ligament in recent years.

Objective To study the effect of preemptive analgesina of morphine injected to subarachnoid space on postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients were randomly divided into two groups. All patinents received combination spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSEA). In experimenta group (n=30), 0 5% bupivacaine 2ml and morphine 0 5mg were injected into the subarachnoid space of the patients for CSEA, and morphine 2 8mg was used for postoperative epidural analgesia. In control group (n=30),0 5% bupivacaine 2ml was injected into the subarachnoid space of the patients for CSEA, and morphine 3 3mg was used for postoperative epidural analgesia. The numerical rating score (NRS) and Ramsay sedation scores were performed after operation. The postoperative analgesic duration and frequency of side effect were recorded. Rusult NRS was significantly less and postoperative analgesic duration was obviously longer in experimental group compared with control group. Ramsay sedation scores and the frequency of side effect significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group. But the shaking frequency in experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group. Conclusions Preemtive analgesia of morphine injected to subarachnoid space could improve postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and increase analgesia time. But it had more side effects.

Cancers of the digestive system account for a large portion of malignant tumors in humans,and the trend is on the rise.The formation of neovascularization is the dominant factor in the metastasis of tumors.The vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is well documented as the most potent inducer of angiogenesis.It promotes the formation of new blood vessels in several aspects,such as proliferation of endothelial cells,endothelial cell migration and increased vascular permeability.So VEGF is regarded as an important factor in the development of digestive system tumors.The purpose of this review is to investigate the relationship between VEGF and digestive system tumors.

Background Nowadays,glaucoma is the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the second cause of global visual loss.To accurately obtain the anterior chamber depth (ACD)is of helpful for screening primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore the difference and agreement in the measurement of ACD between Scheimplug Imaging System (Pentacam)and ultra-sonographic biomicroscope (UBM).MethodsSeventy-seven eyes of 77 PACG patients aged (69.96±7.87)were divided into two groups.Thirty-seven eyes with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG)were assigned to group 1,and forty eyes with chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG)were assigned to group 2.Central ACD was measured with Pentacam and UBM,respectively.The Bland-Altman method was used to evaluate the agreement of the two methods.ResultsThe ACD values measured by Pentacam and UBM were (1.6467±0.2687)mm and (1.5601±0.2677)mm respectively in APACG,indicating a significant difference (t=-7.259,P<0.01)and a positive linear correlation between the results of these two methods (r=0.939,P<0.01).The ACD values measured by Pentacam and UBM were (2.0622±0.2317)mm and (1.9648±0.2176)mm respectively in CPACG eyes with a significant difference between them(t=-10.433,P<0.01)and a significant linear correlation between these two outcomes (r=0.967,P<0.01).The Bland-Altman method showed that the two modalities had comparable results for ACD.ConclusionPentacam,as a new 3-dimensional mathematical model of the anterior segment,presents some different results from UBM in the measurement of ACD,but it is not clinically significant.Combination of Pentacam and UBM may be available for the clinical measurement of ACD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the development of apoptosis during ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and acute rejection, and to explore the significance of apoptosis in the Graft Mesenteric Lymph Node (GALT) in a rat heterotopic small bowel transplant (SBT) model.MethodsSBT was performed in F344/N rats with either freshly harvested or preserved (4 h, in ringer lactate solution at 4 ℃) syngeneic and allogeneic (Wistar/A-F344/N) grafts. Bowel and GALT samples were collected 2 h after reperfusion and on small bowel transplant postoperative days (POD) 1, 4, and 7. Histopathology assessment of the graft and GALT were prepared for hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Apoptosis was detected by the TUNEL and the electron microscope. ResultsThe number of apoptotic cells 2 h after reperfusion increased profoundly in association with preservation. After a significant decrease on POD 1, the apoptotic cells rose again between POD 3 and 7 only in allogeneic grafts. On the other hand, the apoptotic cells in allogeneic GLAT markedly increased from POD 1 to day 3; at that time point, neither histological findings of rejection nor increase in apoptotic crypt cells were present in the graft jejunum. ConclusionIR injury and acute rejection may both induce extensive apoptosis. The graft jejunum distinct second increase in apoptosis may be an early and specific sign of acute rejection. Apoptosis of GLAT cells was well correlated with and ahead of progression of acute rejection.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsar-tan hydrochlorothiazide tablets. METHODS:UPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Phenomenex C18 column with mobile phase consisted of [0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile(95 : 5,V/V)]-[0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile (5 : 95,V/V)](gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 272 nm,and the column tem-perature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 1.5 μL. RESULTS:The linear range were 8.1-324.2 μg/mL for valsartan(r=0.9999)and 1.2-50.1 μg/mL for hydrochlorothiazide(r=0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.24,0.04 ng,and the limits of detection were 0.06,0.01 ng. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 2.0%;recoveries were 97.69%-100.35%for valsartan(RSD=1.03%,n=9)and 98.27%-100.60% for hydrochlorothiazide(RSD=0.83%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of liver X receptor(LXR) and caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into six groups:control group,ox-LDL group,different doses of rosuvastatin group (0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA were assayed by RT-PCR.Results LXR mRNA expression induced by ox-LDL in the control group and ox-LDL group were 1.00 ± 0.02,0.26 ± 0.02,and the difference was significant (t =56.39,P < 0.001).Meanwhile,caveolin-1 mRNA expression in ox-LDL is (0.27 ± 0.01) fold than that in control (t =31.27,P < 0.001).Meanwhile,There were significant differences among ox-LDL group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group in terms of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (F =72.154,66.007,P < 0.001).Along with the increase the doses of rosuvastatin,there was an increased trends of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (P < 0.05).Conclusion Rosuvastatin and upregulated the LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions in a dose dependent manner.
